Book Local Moving Companies Online

Moving locally usually means moving within the same state and is also referred to as intrastate moving. The easiest way to book local movers is through Unpakt. Unpakt allows you to find experienced, reliable movers in your area, compare quotes and prices, read online reviews from verified customers and choose from the best local moving companies.

All of Unpakt’s local movers are verified professionals, properly licensed and insured.

Preparing For a Local Move

• After booking a moving company with Unpakt, you can edit your inventory on Unpakt’s website and view a per item breakdown of your relocation costs. This allows you to stay on top of your moving budget and make informed choices regarding your inventory.
• Local moves are usually completed within the same day. This means time is of the essence. They often require a larger crew to complete big moves in a timely way, and require careful planning in terms of building requirements for elevator use and parking regulations. These details need to be sorted out ahead of time to ensure a smooth move.
• Professional packing and other services are available at an additional charge, and include the labor in addition to packing supplies like padding materials, bubble wrap, boxes etc.
• Get a quote for these services well in advance and plan for your movers to arrive early enough to finish packing and transporting your belongings within the same day.
• Storage services are available in case you require them.

Moving Day

• Your chosen Unpakt local moving company will show up at your door and load your belongings onto the truck. It will transport them to your new address, unload them and leave. Simple, isn’t it?
• Booking with Unpakt relieves you of any Moving Day surprises. Local moving quotes are guaranteed and based on your actual inventory, its volume and the distance it will be transported. Prices are not subject to last minute changes.

Insurance and Liability

• In some states, local movers are obligated by law to offer released value/minimum liability coverage for local moves. This type of valuation covers your inventory at 30-60 cents per pound per item. With this type of valuation the total loss of a flat screen TV will be compensated at a meager $15. This is why getting greater coverage is highly advisable.
• To get additional coverage you can choose between Full Value Protection offered by your local movers or contact an insurance provider to purchase a policy. In any case, check your homeowner’s insurance - it might cover household goods in transit.
